BIOPROSPECT

One-stop shop

Tools

The one stop shop for the valuation of forest ecosystem services (e-platform) is a unique e-platform which will be developed in the frame of the BIOPROSPECT Project. The e-shop will include e-calculator, e-handbook and e-training material in order both to educate and also facilitate stakeholders. The involvement of stakeholders, policymakers and beneficiaries in the activities will strengthen the dissemination and communication of methods and results. Thus, the platform will assist the achievement of the objectives of the project, such as the development of common tools for forest management practices, gathering information for best policies and regulations from different countries, establish a knowledge exchange network, develop common and shared tools for the economic valuation and sustainable capitalization of biodiversity-ecosystem services, translate theory into practice, map the cross-border genetic pool and bioprospect, establish a roadmap for bioprospect-based governance and beyond help the stakeholders and decision makers to evaluate the ecosystem services and biodiversity value of an area in order to plan it’s conservation and development.
